Where Are the Indians?
No, not Cleveland:
- O.T., was at the Captains promotional ceremony today, and observed that Captain Wedster of the Academy is now Commander Wedster of the Academy as of today.
***********
EXCELLENT!!!!
A Deputy Superintendent, a Commander, 3 Lieutenants, and 23 Sergeants working at the academy to train 36 PPO's entering day 7 of municipal employment. Time for a tax increase.
About time for a staff reduction, wouldn't you say?

if our pension fund is not being funded as required by the statute, then the pension board needs to sue the city. The Village of Calumet Park was sued by their police pension board for years of under funding their pension. Their pension board hired an attorney (Rick Reimer)who filed all of the paperwork and low and behold, they won. The Village is bound by the court order to continue the proper funding each year. In our pension law, which is slightly different than theirs, under subsection (G) the city is obligated to deposit with the city treasurer before March 1st of each year an amount that is not less than the amount of city contributions for that year as certified by the board to the city council.
If they are not doing this, then the pension board should hire a lawyer and have a judge make them do it. contempt of court is a bitch, as Weis knows so well.
just a thought

and what is our pension board doing? Seems to me they are more interested in law degrees for the secretary and parking spots than actually fighting for our lawfully protected pension fund... just another scam bullshit position with zero integrity...
Naw just add some more useless bosses! Why promote when we have all this wasted space here? "mo money"! More out of control shit! Who is in charge? anyone at the top?
when is the next testing cycle starting? anyone know? last one was nov 2006 and I'd imagine alot of those on the lists have gone on to other jobs by now after 3+ years...
There were more people on the list than were actually supposed to be promoted. Who got the bars and who didn't.
Lastly, where did they all go?
Inquiring minds wanna know.
And a good job they are doing. One on One training.
BLING BLING
Deputy Superintendent, a Commander, 3 Lieutenants, and 23 Sergeants working at the academy,,,,,,,,,,,,,,no p.o's assigned to academy?
This dept.. doesn't even surprise anymore... WHAT A JOKE!!!! Clout Still Rules!!!!
Wait a minute, what happened to Petersen's outspoken policy that once you're promoted to Commander you have to go to a district first? As always, the rules don't apply to everybody.
And I agree, too many bodies wasted on inside jobs.
At least Ald. Rugai kept her word and got Ruth a coveted Gold Star.
Hope Ruth got a decent set of wheels out of the deal. Now, if she can get the gym equipment maintained, her presence there will be much appreciated. Does our Dept. even send out teletypes anymore to inform us who gets promoted anymore? Or are we just informed on a "need to know" basis? Is this how it's done in the FBI?
hey man, if it wasn't for taxes you wouldn't have an income.
28 white shirts for 36 ppo's? Maybe we can get Judy a pay raise for a new BANJO...
Wedster=Prime example of merit AND clout. 19th ward strikes yet again. She the smartist person she knows, just ask her.
dont know em all but'
jarmusz 21
delatorre 02
walsh 08
pena 25
mcnaughton 15
pontecore 09
sorry dont know the other four,
dembowski, panepinto, ceja, bresnehan and daly were passed over till next time.
Rumor is daly actually asked to be passed over because he is in such a good spot, unit 188.
Ruthie=H.E.A.V.Y.
And your entire 'ol 3rd watch crew in 005 knew about it. Hope you don't forget about us... What? Who's "us"? Figures.
Wedster, another Clout -Baby form a Clout-Baby Family of lackluster police officers.
Check the facts first. There are 80 recruits in academy. Then there are numerous inservice classes every week. Range is always busy with inservice classes. 35th is always asking for additional training for specilaized units. Recruits are not the only task assigned to academy.
Like I have stated over and over for the last year, 5 to 8 years maximum for our pension fund. CDS,CMBS,CDOS etc. have taken it all away. No one was watching the store. All of the advisors have some political ties and the board is wined and dined by different advisors.
old retired guy
Wedster=Prime example of merit AND clout. 19th ward strikes yet again. She the smartist person she knows, just ask her.
Another example like Sgt. Gina, Sgt
Dawn, Sgt. Maggie, Sgt. Bob O', Sgt. Marty G, Sgt. Lee B, Lt. Jeff H, nearly every one on the poster COPS FOR GINGER, and dont forget the Detectives she made at Area 2,and Area 1 who run her golf outing
every year, Ginger Rocks. No time on the job but she will get you days in 004,005, 0r 022.
Where is the US Attorney. Just think of the juice on the Fire Dept.and other city agencies.
no p.o's assigned to academy?

Enough to staff a a whole watch somewhere.
Remember the good old days…. “ Investigative Reports shows the Mayor has allowed the Chicago Police Depts. Manpower to fall to over two thousand officers short, meanwhile the homicide rate climbs despite officials stating it is lower than last year… more at 10”
Yeah those were the days, when the local news stations would hold the cities officials accountable to the folks, they’d sift through the bullshit and call it as it was… I guess now everyone just listens to the same bullshit… more at 10.

Weis views his only responsibility is informing the PRESS, not us.
Despite promising not to (on two occasions, after being called out for not communicating these things to us first) he continues to issue press releases first, then we find out by listening to WBBM on the ride to work.
Remember to inform your next of kin to file a wrongful death civil suit, if you are L.O.D.D.
The CPD is almost 3,000 officers short. If you are killed while attending to your duties and there is any correlating link to the manpower shortage, your family will at least get paid.
MAKE SURE YOUR SIGNIFICANT OTHER KNOWS THIS!
Where's the media on this one?
Wedsters son would have been fired the fourth day in the Academy. He failed the sit ups. Amazing huh?
when is the next testing cycle starting? anyone know? last one was nov 2006 and I'd imagine alot of those on the lists have gone on to other jobs by now after 3+ years...
I have a feeling CPD hiring is going to become more like CFD. Where they administer a test, make the guys and gals jump through all of the hoops but will have to wait 4-8 years to get on.
Honestly, I don't see why any media outlet isn't running with stories like this when the city's crying poor. They spent how many millions administering the tests and paying an outside company to process them, millions more running drug, medical, physical, background and psychological tests. And for what? To hire 40 officers? Why spend the money on any of this testing for people who weren't getting hired within 90 days? Talk about COO KOO
I have seen a whole load of arrogant pieces of useless shit promoted light years beyond their capabilities and in lieu of deserving, competent, true Police Officers, but Ruth Wedster takes first place. Ruth, you are the most useless and arrogant piece of scum and incompetence ever, that wore a uniform and masqueraded as the police.
Wow! The ratio for teachers to 2 year olds is only 1:5. Even if you count the preschool director and secretaries, you can't get a ratio this low!
Ill bet my paycheck that niether Wedster or the new captains took a power test to get their promotions. JFRAUD is full of lies and double talk.
Who was promoted? Anyone have the list?
Well Well, when Rugi suggested that Ruth be made commander of 22 to J Fed, he politely told her he did not take recommendations from Alderman. Who has the last laugh now? Welcome to Chitcago J Fed.
3/16/2009 10:04:00 PM.
Don't worry. The next campaign will focus on pensions to which our taxes will double to fix it!
Training Div. A Sup, a Capt, 3 Lts,and 23 Sgts. Wow! In the Old days you had a Comd. Two Lts, a hand full of Sgts.,the rest were Po's. The Capt spot was created for who the hell knows. Possibly because he couldn't work the the Dists. And had no function in the academy.
Of course his brother had a nice spot also as a range officer.
It is great to see that you can still have no mind byt make rank on your back as in this case.
and what is our pension board doing? Seems to me they are more interested in law degrees for the secretary and parking spots than actually fighting for our lawfully protected pension fund... just another scam bullshit position with zero integrity...
3/17/2009 12:05:00 AM
Then why the fuck aren't coppers going to the pension board meetings......WAKE THE FUCK UP!!!!!! Its our money, it's not the FOP responsibility it is EVERY SINGLE POLICE OFFICER, & that includes the Lt. & Sgt. represenatives that ALWAYS ALWAYS VOTES with the City of Chicago!!!!!
Wedster=Prime example of merit AND clout. 19th ward strikes yet again. She the smartist person she knows, just ask her.
No just ask her shadow S.S. and she will tell you that Wedster is the smartest person that she knows and then they will have another cold one. Don't be surprised when you see S.S. on the next Sgt list.
WEDSTER; another incompetent nail in the coffin of the CPD
Aside from the newly elected Patrolmen's pension rep., we have utter morons representing us on the pension board. Check it out.
do the new captains have to pass a power test?
the academy is a fcuking joke!!!! They have a guy there who used to "work" in my district and had about 3.5 yrs on before he left. Now he is at the academy teaching shit that he has NEVER used, and the guy was the most useless non working clown I have ever seen. But dont worry, the war stories are incredible!!!!
my guess is GD and LP were passed over cuz polish and italian males don't need representation at this time. Shame, can't make people on qualifications.
Wedster could pass the POWER test and is cerified with the m-4. One of the best Captains the 005th dist. ever had and glad to see her get her spot. Good luck boss!

Get off the blog and go back to shopping Carter! You'll be taken care of, again, so no need to kiss ass.
Congrats to Commander Roof Wedster!!! Maybe you can get your disgraced racist fired ex lock up keeper BP to teach HOW NOT to be a lockup keeper!
Or maybe have Alderman Rugai give a lecture on good governmental ethics!
You three are the bowels and embarrassment of Mount Greenwood, and that's saying a lot!

We'll see how long it takes her to F-up the Academy and the recruits.
And yes, her son would have been fired under the new standards =
he failed the sit ups!
48 PPO's and thousands of in-service training. Look at the e-learning site on clear and browse through the hundreds of classes they offer for in-service personnel.
Wedster will need someone to guide her as has been the case since day one. Who will she ask for answers from now? Her secretary, HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

3.5 years? They have P.O.'s just off probation teaching. 3.5 years is a long time to teach at the academy.
Check the facts first. There are 80 recruits in academy.
Since when are there 80? Where'd you pull that number from? Even if we use your number that's still greater than a 5:1 ratio. Not only is that a huge amount of money being spent per capita; it's a slap in the face to patrol during a manpower shortage.
I work at HQ and I am tired of everyone ragging of P.O.'s that work at H.Q. and the Academy. Most of us don't have clout to work here. We have jobs that have a lot more accountability than having to fill out a contact card and a bus check during a tour. We have degrees and networked. That's what got us here. Maybe all the haters should have not drank their way through community college.
hey man, if it wasn't for taxes you wouldn't have an income

Talking shit about the police officers that police! Ha! Ha! So your title must not be Police Officer since you don't police. What is your title? Typing Officer? Coffee Officer? Fellatio Officer?
"I networked to get my job at 35th Street!"
HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA!
thousands of in-service training.

Amazing how the educated officers are all females and have parents on the job or married to white shirts. Networked is a fancy word for absolute clout or other actions.

52 CPD and 28 metros recruits. Of course, a heavy math question would confuse you. If you are that concerned, then apply for a position. Otherwise, STFU!

New requirement for academy. Finish probation and you are qualified. How many sworn officers have less than five years in the academy?

Hi boss how are ya? though SCC was banned but not for big bosses who will soon be demoted like you! Keep on reading the "news" here!
delatorre 02
No where near Farrell but 02 is getting a great captain if they put her on 1st watch. Glad to see the legacy of having good a captain that has you back is still a reality.
God Bless Ruthie. You'll do a great job!
It takes courage and a thick skin to get a top spot on this job. Best of luck Ruthie

LMAO on that one, although its to late she's already kissing ass, so she can continue to work 8 hours shifts and stay inside all nite. Sorry Ruthie but I'm sure you are not the first woman to be qualified with a heavy weapon.....there have been others before you.

----------------------------------
Heavy Math Question? If anyone has a math problem it's you. 80 recruits to the 28 running everything IS greater than a 5:1 ratio. By the numbers you supplied it's 1 staff member for every 2.86 recruits. Nice to see the CPS system taught you well. Hope what's left of your brain didn't leak out your ear while you were reading this.

Fuck you, the academy is overstaffed...PERIOD!!!
Why does Information Services have a 2 year 'Gold'en child driving a NICE unmarked take home car, has just about unlimited overtime and makes decisions that affect PO's as well as has his own office on the 3rd floor!!
